Hawaii - our picture-perfect trip (part 1)

This is what it looked like in San Francisco the day we left... blah...This is what it looked like when we arrived! woo hoo!
What's that, a beach hut? Oh no, that's the boarding gate at the Kona, HI airport where we made our connecting flight. I guess they figured walking through palm trees is just as effective as walking through metal detectors.

After a quick hop from the big island to Oahu, we met our lovely tour guide (Steve's sister). She didn't let us waste a moment - we stopped at a Buddhist temple on the way to her house.

Then we went here...Which was right next to here... (the temple was closed for rennovations)Then we arrived at Kristen's house. But we couldn't relax just yet! Steve had to sit very still while Kristen's dog -Kina- got used to him (she does NOT like men, and was growling and jumping and barking like crazy, but she warmed up to Steve eventually).To finish off our first day, we watched the sunset!

Here's the thing. You were happy to get out of California and go to Hawaii. I was happy to get out of Utah to go to California. Life just isn't fair sometimes.
